Ninjago: Where Did You Go. Come Back Home, Greenie

Chapter 20

Garmadon's p.o.v

"Grandpa, oh grandpa." I wake to little Acronix calling my name. Opening my eyes, I see my grandson looking at me. "I'm hungry and mama can't move." Acronix says. I smile and get up from Daniel's hold. Picking my grandson up, I head to the kitchen.

With Lloyd due any day now, he's confined to the bed. When he goes into labor, it'll be an in-at-home one. Three months ago, while out for a picnic, the two came home with my grandson. Poor Acornix lost his first family in a fire and the two happily adopted the little boy.

Scrambling some eggs, I pull out the frying pan for some omelet and bread for french toast. Morro and the others left yesterday to investigate a case on a serial killer. I stayed to watch Lloyd and if and when he goes into labor.

Fixing us four plates, Daniel had joined us, he grabs mine and his plate as I grab Lloyd's and Acronix's.

Lloyd's p.o.v

Leaning on the pillows behind my back, I type the story I'm working on. I've taken up becoming an author and I love it. The story I'm doing now is about a dragonet who losses her family and becomes an orphan. Her tribe turns their backs on her and she struggles to survive.

A knock sounds at the door as dad, Acronix and Daniel walk in. Smiling, setting the laptop down, Acronix climes up beside me. Dad holds out one of the plates. I take it, cutting the omelet and go to bite. I hiss, the plate tipping and dad catches it.

Leaning forward, I grip my belly in pain. "Daniel, call Morro and the ninja. Than Miles." Dad orders as I pant in the aftermath. Dad arranges the pillows and lays me back, slipping my pants off and putting a towel over my legs.

I grunt as a contraction rakes my body, hands in a fist. Daniel runs back in "the ninja are half a day and Miles is in surgery at the hospital." He said.

"Damn. Good thing dad taught me the ways of being a midwife. Daniel, grab two blankets. Acronix, when I say...." I cut dad off with a scream as pain seizes me. Dad rubs my leg as I throw my head back, tears falling.

"When I tell you to, run the tub in the guest bathroom, as hot as you can stand it, okay." Dad finishes the sentence I cut hem off on.

Five long, agonizing hours pass. Miles hasn't showed, I'm crying from the pain. With no epidural, I'm floored by the contractions. Tossing my head back with a scream, I arch in pain. As it passes, Daniel dabs my forehead. The grip I have on the headboard is leaving prints from my fingers.

When another one hits, it comes with a pop and I toss my head forward. Dad rubs my leg in comfort. "A..pop...pop was felt." I pant as it subsides. "On the next contraction, push with it. It'll hurt but, it'll be worth it." Dad says.

I look at hem, he knows too much to just be a midwife. "You...know more than...you let on." I say, getting a small break. Dad smiles "That I do. Your mother isn't your mother. I am. My first love died when I was five months with you. He had been gunned down infront the monastery protecting me.

"Misako is and was Wu's wife. She offered to be your mother cause back than, reproducing male's were shunned. So, I was in hiding while I had you. The other masters knew about me and were happy. They all looked forward to having a nephew to spoile. I'm sorry I kept this from you. I hope you do...." I pull dad no, mom into a hug and he nuzzles my neck.

Thirty minutes pass, the first boy has been born. I scream bloody murder as I push, hands fisted, shaking in the air and I bear down. With a final push, mom gently takes the twin. I smile, panting hard than grunting in surprise as pain hits. Mom looks, pulling out something red and blobbed.

"Shit." I weakly look, mom is cutting the blob open, blood soaks the sheets as crying sounds. Mom races to the bathroom while all I can think of is...

'I have triplets.'
